Kotshamir (Bathinda): As promised yesterday, National Convener of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today made the Swiss Bank accounts of PPCC Chief Captain Amarinder Singh and his family, public, saying that the entire family stashed huge ill-gotten money during tenure of Captain Amarinder Singh as Chief Minister of Punjab from 2002 to 2007 in these bank accounts.
Addressing a massive gathering of people on the second day of his 11 days tour, Kejriwal revealed the bank accounts detail of Parneet Kaur, former union minister and her son Raninder Singh, who had opened bank accounts in Swiss bank in 2005, when Captain Amarinder Singh was Chief Minister of Punjab.
Delhi Chief Minister also read out the account numbers of Raninder Singh and Parneet Kaur as well as joint account, where the family has been parking their ill-gotten money.
Unveiling detail of the bank accounts of Captain Amarinder Singh’s family, Kejriwal said his wife Parneet Kaur, opened an account in Swiss Bank on July 26, 2005 and her account number is 509018445.
Captain’s son Raninder Singh also opened his account in the Swiss bank on the same day and his account number is 5090184484,Kejriwal said while also revealing that besides these accounts, they had also formed a trust to transfer their ill-gotten money and Swiss Bank’s account number of their trust is 5090284483.
Kejriwal challenged Captain Amarinder Singh that whatever he has revealed, if there was any information found wrong, Amarinder Singh is free to file a defamation case against him and send him to jail.
Making a scathing attack on Captain Amarinder Singh, Kejriwal said that Captain before coming into power in 2002, had gone bankrupt and did not have enough money even to get his Moti Mahal whitewashed.
Within three years after coming to power, he (Captain) and his family opened accounts in the Swiss bank, where the family member used to transfer huge sum of money every month, Kejriwal said.
Kejriwal challenged Prime Minister Narindra Modi, if he had will and guts to bring out the black money stashed in these foreign bank accounts by Amarinder Singh and his family.
“Instead of going after the poor people and common man, PM should go after people like Amarinder Singh to bring back the black money stashed in foreign accounts”, AAP Convener said.
Kejriwal also asked the people how many of them are against the decision of Modi’s demonetisation; most of them raised their both hands to convey that they were being hugely harassed due to dictatorial demonetisation by Modi.
Delhi CM then pointed out towards media and said they must look at the people who have been raising their both hands against demonetisation, instead of reporting false facts and misleading reports that people are happy due to demonetisation.
Moving out towards Badal Family, Kejriwal said Badal & Company, who came into power after Amarinder Singh, have ruined the Punjab completely.
Who is having biggest chunk of black money in Punjab? Kejriwal asked people and reply came in echoed and unanimous voice – “Badal Parivar – Badal Parivar”. Kejriwal again questions Modi’s guts, he should have gone after Badals, who have the biggest chunk of black money, instead of opting for demonetisation to harass commonman.
“Badals during the last 10 years of misrule amassed huge money due to their control on almost all businesses including Transport, Cable, Mining, Liquor etc.”, Kejriwal said claiming that Badals have squeezed Punjab to their fullest capacity to mint money.
He said Badal Government is not champion to the causes of Sikh community because it has proved big failure to get justice for the Sikhs massacred in 1984 anti-Sikhs riots.
“After coming to power, we will set up an Enquiry Commission to investigate Badals’ illegalities and get them enquired and punish them as per law of land”, Kejriwal said adding that preparators of desecration of Guru Granth Sahib, Quran-e-Sharif and Bhagwat Geeta would be also be exposed and given an exemplary punishment, so that nobody could even think of doing again.
Kejriwal reiterated that contacts of mining and bus permits, which Badals obtained through misuse of power would be taken back and would be distributed to unemployed youth, once AAP is voted to power.
